  • Double-Crown Thru-Hiker — FarOut Has Lost My Trust

    1
    By Tripdox
    I'm a double-crown thru-hiker, having completed both the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and Appalachian Trail (AT). I've relied on FarOut for thousands of miles, which makes my recent experience on Kentucky's Sheltowee Trace incredibly disappointing. The Sheltowee Trace guide is severely outdated. Numerous listed water sources have comments reporting they've been dry for years, yet they remain marked without adequate warnings. I went approximately 36 hours with only one liter of water because expected creeks were completely dry. The problems extend beyond water. Gas stations and resupply locations listed in the guide no longer exist. Trail splits and changes in the actual route aren't accurately represented on the map. These errors affect navigation, resupply planning, and safety. Even worse, despite downloading the offline maps, FarOut repeatedly opens to a blank white screen without cellular service. Once reception returns, it works normally. An app marketed for offline wilderness navigation should never depend on service just to open downloaded maps. I'm not a beginner. I understand that creeks dry up, businesses close, and trails get rerouted. But maintaining accurate information is precisely why hikers pay for a dedicated navigation app. FarOut needs to audit the Sheltowee Trace guide, update trail alignments, remove nonexistent businesses, clearly flag unreliable water sources, and fix offline startup failures. It's frustrating to see new subscription perks and interface changes while fundamental trail information remains neglected. I used to recommend FarOut because it earned my trust on the PCT and AT. After this experience, that trust has been seriously damaged. I'm not asking FarOut to guarantee water in every creek. I'm asking for accurate maps, maintained trail information, and offline navigation that actually works offline. These are safety issues, not minor inconveniences. I hope FarOut addresses them so I can confidently recommend this app again.

    FarOut crashed on me during a recent thru hike on the Foothills Trail. I shut it down late evening after getting to camp. It would not restart the next morning. It would go to the red screen and locked up. The trail has splotchy cell service so it was two days before I could get it back up and running. When I finally got cell service I shut my phone completely down and brought it back up , sighed out of FarOut and signed back in and it started working again. Hooter Hikes

  • The best trail map… period

    I’ve used FarOut for the last 3 years to section hike the AT, the Benton Mackaye, and the Pinhotti trails. I love the app and all the details. Highly recommended download!

  • Love

    I love the details. Knowing the mileage and elevation for each day.

  • Doesn’t show trails leading to AT

    As a section hiker, I don’t have the luxury of simply staying on the Appalachian Trail and getting off and on at towns. I need to be able to enter and exit the trail and find easy parking. So it’s often frustrating for me to use FarOut to find places to enter and exit the trail because it ONLY shows the AT. None of the trails that connect up with it. Also, there are several places that were dubbed “parking spots” and I was like “ummm with what? A plow truck!?!” So I have to give it 4 stars. Otherwise, I’m happy with the app.

  • 😭 Downloaded guide

    When I am out of service and spend what I did on a guide it should work. 3 days into my 80 mile river trip the downloaded guide stopped working. Nice when it actually works. WOULD NOT DEPEND ON. Especially if out of service.

  • good for PCT, not the Camino

    Not so good for the Camino del Norte - directs you into a dangerous road walk heading into san vincente; both gronze and wise pilgrim are better alternatives

  • Saved me!

    In a badly marked section north of Shenandoah, Far Out got me back on the trail in fading light. Phew! Took me in the dark to my shelter too. Ahh!
